The mathematical rule of three can be used to take probabilities. In the exposed example, the approximate probability of a moth being black is 35% (Option D).

------------------------

Available data:

  • 47 moths are brown
  • 15 moths are yellow
  • 34 moths are black

The total number of individuals in this population equals the addition of brown, yellow, and black individuals.

This total number of individuals equals 100% of the population.

So to get the probability of a moth being black, we can just perform a rule of three.

To do it, we need to get the percentage of black individuals in the current population.

96 moths ------------------------- 100% population

34 black moths ----------------- X= (34 x 100) / 96

                                                 =35.41 ≅ 35% of the population

The approximate probability of a moth being black is 35%.
